Teens pocket €13 a week from parents, says survey

Teenagers get an average of €13 pocket money a week, with nearly a fifth getting more from their parents than they did a year ago.

Three quarters of those who get pocket money save it, with an average of a third of the cash being put away.

Of those saving, nearly half hope to buy a phone, computer, or another gadget; 28% are saving for a holiday; 21% for music or movie downloads; and 17% for college.
